Serving our growing communityNew Mexico is a land that is rich in beauty, culture and diversity but hidden amongst this beauty is a great deal of need and poverty. Last year alone Open Hands served over 12,000 residents and the demand for our services is continuously growing. Over 80% of these clients were considered low income.
